Let me repeat after you: you connected USB modem, and via USB Hub it has sufficient power so no problem on this side.
The modem itself (if I recall it right) supply you with IP via DHCP, so first all all you need to add DHCP client on lte interface. Then you set up NAT from your LAN to lte interface.
The bad thing is, you have multiply NATs, one by one:
at Mikrotik (from LAN to lte address; from private to private IP)
at modem (from lte gateway address into the one supplied by cell provider. used to be from private to private IP)
at cell provider, from private IP assigned to the lte modem to some external address (public one).
If you try to ping from Mikrotik you might need to set outgoing interface first:
ping address=8.8.8.8 src-address=<ip assigned to you by modem's DHCP>
When connecting both LTE modems via the USB HUB the Mikrotik is detecting them automatically and is adding the following DHCP client entries.
According to my knowledge they look alright.
What’s amazes me is two lte interfaces and two IP addresses. If you have only one modem then it is strange. Take a note not to mess with same subnet on different interfaces (192.168.0.x/24 use to be wildely used around).
Erik, maybe you need to disable others routes for test and leave only one lte?
check my dynamic routes, they have some different than your
10.88.0.1 - my MK ip (default gateway on my network)
192.168.8.1 - lte modem
192.168.8.100 - ip given by modem`s dhcp to MK usb port
When I am trying to add NAT, I see that a few entries are automatically made by UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) equipment This normally makes intelligent connections between two pieces of UPnP-equipment possible on port-level. They normally can exchange the IP-addresses used and have dynamic access to the internet.
I have switched on the UPnP at the Huawei E3372 modem, however it doesn’t add any NAT in the list.
More settings on the Huawei LTE modem are not available.
Will the network mask 192.168.0.0 /16 also take the range 192.168.8.0?
How does the Mikrotik read its configuration? First line first or more precise line first?
I will try to test tonight with the ZTE LTE modem and see how this behaves.
My current routes are as follows:
According my knowledge this should be OK.
Anyway at this moment I not allowed to pull the primary internet connection, otherwise my family will kill me.
i think all will be ok now with you
In my original post problem was with lte interface that dont created after usb modem connect but i see that you havent any problems even with a two modems, to access inet just need add correct config now
i will try this weekend with my crs125, maybe last routeros update make some fixes and my lte will work ok too
I can reach both LTE modems and their GUI (using a browser), but I can not connect not the internet yet.
I agree that the USB of the Mikrotik is working.
Good luck and I will keep you posted when I am able to get everything up and running.
You can look this manual there a two wan addresses and NAT setup
Its on russian, but google translate or chrome autotranslate will help https://spw.ru/educate/articles/natpart3/
